The family would like to thanks all of you for your kind words and tell you a bit about what Dad got up to after he retired…

Mr George Barry Teather sadly passed away on the 16th February 2021. He was a loving Husband, Father and Grandpa and very proud of his family. Barry, as he liked to be known, will be fondly remembered by many for his mischievous nature. Since his passing many tales have come to light, it seems everyone that knew him has a story to share. Barry had a full, happy and interesting life after his career in the Police Force. There were long haul holidays, part time roles and time spent watching his grandchildren grow and blossom into the adults we see today. He will be greatly missed by all.

Many thanks Natalie
